Companies should be compelled to declare how much they pay the taxman in an
attempt to crack down on tax avoidance, a leading Labour figure has
suggested.

Chuka Umunna, the Shadow Business Secretary, said that asking companies to be
more transparent about the amount of tax they pay would help “celebrate
those who contribute” to the Exchequer and stop them from being tarnished by
companies dodging the rules.

In an interview with The Times, Mr Umunna suggested asking companies to
put a figure on their tax contributions in their annual reports.
